Google had to cannibalize a business where they have 90% market share (Search) to build a business where they have 25% market share (Gemini)
If you think 30% decline in the stock from the top is bad, buckle up because it should be 50% at least
I hate this mfer so much!!!!
Sam Altman says its bad that everyone's personal computers are using the world's limited supply of memory chips.
"It’s quite terrible to have everybody have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAMs sitting in their own computer, and being used 5% of the time. Like, you want maximum utilization."
The PRESS TRUST OF INDIA (not that it has much credibility left) is sharing the video of a wife washing her husband's feet. In 20-fucking-26.
Back in the day we made fun of shmucks like this; now you have mainstream platforms highlight inane regressiveness on the daily. Ew.

Even a single billboard on the water is one too many.
Light pollution harms human health as much as noise does, and it is regulated in many of the countries Mumbai wants to emulate.
In August 2024, Awaaz sent suggestions and objections to the BMC's draft Hoardings Policy, which allowed unrestricted lighted hoardings across the city. In May, we wrote to the CM objecting to billboards along Bandra's coastal promenades.
We attached policies from the US and UK to our objections.
Yet Mumbai is now facing lighted billboards in our marine waters. Scientists and experts say floating billboards would bring "concentrated, high-radiance beacons right at the waterline, completely erasing natural marine dark corridors." Light from these LEDs can reach 40m underwater and disrupt plankton that feed in darkness, the base of our marine food chain.
India endorsed global guidelines on light pollution for migratory wildlife in 2020. Why are we ignoring them now?

The sea is all we have in Mumbai. It's the only third space where families can congregate without tearing their wallets.
This government, its crony cabal of industrialists is so anti-poor! Had it not been for the nationalist project, we'd have heads rolling by now.

Before @danielkolitz became known for the Goon Squad, he spent years "taking Adderall and trying to write about Adderall," eventually penning a viral essay for Broadcast that launched his career.
This December, Pioneer Works Press will debut Club Med—an essay collection and detailed portrait of the Adderall generation—featuring Kolitz's pioneering essay, alongside some new dispatches from the frontlines of the Adderall Epidemic. 💊
